7010X Series | Platform Overview

Model Overview

The Arista 7010X series comes in two different configurations. Each delivers high performance combined with feature rich layer 2 and

layer 3 forwarding, suited for both top of rack leaf, campus access or out of band management switches.

The 7010TX-48 and 7010TX-48C are a 1RU system with 48 10/100/1000Mb RJ45 Ethernet ports and 4 1/10/25G SFP based ports

offering wire speed throughput of up to 296 Gbps bi-directional with integrated AC power and a hot swap fan for reversible airflow.

The 7010TX-48-DC is a DC powered 1RU system with the same port options, integrated DC power supplies and also offers reversible

airflow, with a hot swap reversible direction fan module that allows both front-to-back or back-to-front just be reversing the fan

module and re-inserting.

The RJ45 ports support a range of speeds, including both half duplex 10Mb and full duplex, together with 100Mb and 1000Mb to

enable the widest range of end system connectivity at speeds from 10Mb up to 1G.

Each of the four SFP ports supports a choice of speeds with flexible configuration between 1GbE, 10GbE, or 25GbE. All ports can

operate in any supported mode without limitation, allowing easy migration from lower speeds and the flexibility for deployment over

existing fiber infrastructure.

High Availability

The Arista 7010X series switches are designed for high

availability from both a software and hardware perspective.

Key high availability features include:

• 1+1 Redundant internal power supplies

• Redundant and reversible dual inline fan module

• Color coded fan module to indicate airflow direction

• Live software patching

• Self healing software with Stateful Fault Repair (SFR)

• Smart System Upgrade (SSU)

• Multi-chassis LAG for active/active L2 multi-pathing

• 64-way ECMP routing for load balancing and redundancy

Scaling Data Center Performance

The Arista 7010X series delivers integrated line rate switching at both layer 2 and layer 3, with support for VXLAN in hardware to enable

dramatically faster and simpler network designs for data centers that lowers the network capital and operational expenses. When used

in conjunction with the Arista 7050X3 series fixed and 7300X3 series modular switches for spine tiers it allows networks to scale to

50,000 1G servers in a high performance and low-latency two-tier network that provides predictable and consistent application

performance. The flexibility of the L2 and L3 multi-path design options combined with support for open standards provides maximum

cross-sectional bandwidth eliminating spanning tree protocol, increasing flexibility, scalability and providing network wide

virtualization. Arista EOS advanced features provide control and visibility with a single point of management for workload orchestration

and workflow automation.
